Actually no, it fails because the mount point isn't there. So I
assume the hotplug events do something to create the directory first, mount
to it, and delete it on umount. I guess I'm wondering how to do the same,
for consistency.

Ur syntax seems to be correct. When you execute mount /dev/sdb1
/media/usbfixedhd manually it works right?
For more info about fstab, please see the below link

Hey Scully,
It sounds like you could write a pair of short bash scripts to handle
this. You could then place them in the start up and shutdown routines
that are part of the runlevels. You can see several examples of such
scripts in the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory. Just have the start up
version create the directory and mount the drive, and the shutdown
version umount and delete the directory. Hope this helps.
